    1. The experiment investigates the operation of a common base amplifier by measuring its loaded voltage gain. 2. A common base amplifier has a relatively low input impedance, high output impedance, and current gain less than 1, but can have a quite large voltage gain. The output impedance is ignored because it is very high. 3. Procedures are described to set up the circuit, apply input signals, measure voltages and gains with and without a load resistor, and calculate expected vs. measured values.

    EXPERIMENT NO.

    AC COMMON BASE AMPLIFIER

    I. OBJECTIVES
    1. To investigate the operation of common base amplifier.
    2. To measure the loaded voltage gain.

    II. DISCUSSION

    The common-base configuration is characterized as having a relatively low input and high
    output impedance and a current gain less than 1. The voltage gain, however, can be quite large.
    The transistor output impedance ro is not included for the common-base configuration because it
    is typically in the megohm range and can be ignored in parallel with the resistor Rc.

    The fact that the load is connected between the collector and base terminal isolates it from
    the input circuit, and Zi remains essentially the same for no-load or loaded conditions. The
    isolation that exits between input and output circuits also maintains Zo at a fixed level even
    though the level of Rs may change.

    IV. PROCEDURES
    1. Wire the circuit as show above, omitting the signal generator and power supply.
    2. Apply the 9-volt supply voltage to the breadboard. With DMM, measure the
    transistor dc emitter and collector voltage with respect to the ground. Record the
    result in Table 4.1.
    3. Determine the expected valued of two voltage assuming a dc base-emitter voltage
    drop of 0.7V and compare them with the measured values in the Table 4.1.0
    4. Connect channel 1of the oscilloscope at point A (Vin) and channel 2 to point B
    (Vout). Then connect the signal generator to the circuit as shown in Fig. 3. Adjust
    the sine wave output level of the generator of 25m Vp-p at a frequency of 5kHz.
    If you cannot reach 25mV, adjust Vin. Observe that the output signal level (Vout)
    is greater than the input level. Vout is in phase with respect to the input.
    5. Using the measured value for the dc-emitter voltage obtained in step-2, calculate
    the dc quiescent emitter current and the resultant transistor ac emitter resistance,
    re. Record these values in Table 4.2.
    6. Calculate the voltage gain from emitter to collector and record the result in Table
    4.3. Now, measure the actual voltage gain by dividing the peak-to-peak output
    voltage (Vout) by the peak-to-peak voltage (Vin). Record the result in Table 4.3.
    7. Removed RL. Observe that the output voltage level increases. It does because the
    load resistance affects the voltage gain of the amplifier stage. As in step 5,
    experimentally, determine the voltage gain by measuring Vout and Vin. Record
    the result in Table 4.3.

    VI. OBSERVATION

    Based on my observations, I found that if the positive terminal of the oscilloscope is


    connected to the voltage input and voltage output, the waveform or graph of the
    circuit is sinusoidal, with or without load. Also, if you try to connect the positive
    terminal of the oscilloscope to the total voltage collector when the circuit has a
    resistive load, the waveform will be sinusoidal. Ultimately, the total voltage emitter
    will be a positive waveform if there is a resistive load in the circuit and will be
    negative if there is no resistive load. 

    VII. CONCLUSION

    When doing the experiment, I found that putting a resistive load in the circuit does
    not affect the input and output voltage waveforms. They stay the same unless you
    change the value of the part of the circuit. On the other hand, the emitter and
    collector of the total voltage are affected and the waveform changes depending on
    whether the circuit is resistively loaded or not. 

    VIII. QUESTIONS:
    1. What are the AC characteristics of a common base amplifier?
     High voltage gain
     High current gain
     Low power gain
     Input and Output phase relation is 0o
     It has low input impedance
     It has high output impedance

    2. Determine the gain of the given circuit.


    The voltage gain is 27.225 mV with load and 27.273 mV without load.
    Current gain is about 0.048 mV
